Stanley's Gig

Stanley Myer (William Sanderson) is a so-so musician who harbors a big dream: to play his ukulele on a cruise line to Hawaii. In order to make ends meet in the meantime, he takes a job in a retirement home playing music for the residents. There, he encounters Eleanor (Faye Dunaway), an aging jazz chanteuse and stubborn recluse whom perhaps only Stanley can reach. Based on a true story, this drama marks Marc Lazard’s directorial debut.
